Designing Forms (using Web Client):
Typically, when designing forms we always want all records displayed on the page. Don't forget that forms are rendered as web pages. We should be aware that web forms by default has their timeouts and we should always consider the following:
1. Enable Client Paging. A grid that does not use paging will take ages to load especially if the underlying query contains several joins. By enabling client paging in the grid controls, this helps the browser to load the form quicker. The number of items per page varies per requirement but it should be no more than 50 per page.
2. Do not place too many controls and data in a single form. A form that uses lots of controls contributes to increase in page size which may affect the performance when loading the form. This is certainly useful when you have a global company and end users are geographically separated and there is limited bandwidth and high network latency.
